"One thing they're not is a typical folk duo. Whatever magic these two share together as singer-songwriters is matched equally by an intense interest in studio trickery. Complimenting their soaring harmonies with collage effects bordering on musique concrete, Lawrence and Leigh's sound is brimming with ideas that keep obvious categorizations at bay. The music of Andrew Kalleen and Kristin Stokes seems to reinvent itself after every listen, so be prepared to spend some time with these tracks as they move from bare acoustic arrangements to electronic 4-on-floor grooves and back again in epic and rewarding proportions."

“The Brooklyn songwriting duo takes chamber folk to expansive new heights...a sound which melds the pop smarts of Elliott Smith and Over The Rhine’s Karen Bergquist with melodies that twist and turn, taking you on an aural journey.”

"Nothing can really take away from Kristin and Andrew’s ability to create songs that demand every ounce of your attention once locked in...Lawrence & Leigh obviously have the power to do absolutely anything!”

"Coming across like a blend of Dirty Projectors, Joanna Newsom, and the haunting richness of Fleet Foxes, the duo offer up dense harmonies and elaborate song structures with a melancholy yet occasionally optimistic tone."

“[Glow] is another example of their consistently beautiful song craft—a sepia tinged snapshot of multilayered instrumentation and free-spirited harmonies. Wonderful...The accompanying video is also well worth a viewing—it is a work of stunning visual art that brilliantly complements the shifting moods of the song.”

“The trip-hoppy-1940s-magic they pulled set off Stokes’ vocals and Kalleen’s intricate compositions, proving the pair hypnotizing. I look forward to seeing them continue to kick ass, and you should, too.”
